2- Start Programming In smart home G4 there are two ways For Programming:

Manual Way (For Basic Programming). Pc /Laptop Way (For Basic and Advanced Programming).

2-1 S-Bus Programming Software overview

You need on this lesson: to have your computer with you. Running on windows Operating system, Smart Cloud G4 software, Programming port SB-DN-1IP, that enable you to search for all the devices that connected to the bus network.

1- Install your S-bus configuration software in your Computer by pressing the

Setup icon and follow the installation steps windows 2- Plug in your Ethernet cable (Rj45) in your pc and the other end in the RSIP module or Zaduio module then Set your computer IP Address, for example

IP 192.168.10.115 Subnet 255.255.255.0 Getaway 192.168.10.1

The default address for S-bus Product is 192.168.10.xxx

6

3- Run your S-bus smart cloud Software 4- The Password window will open, type the default password is user

5- Your software will start

7

6- You can see your current IP on the footer of the software as 192.168.10.115

then your IP setting is ok.

Set your computer IP setting before starting the S-BUS Smart Cloud.

You should always reset your Module every time you change the IP Address in order the new setting to be Active. After you set your Module IP Address now you should connect the module to Your Computer Network in order to communicate. The connection can be in two ways 1- Connect the 1Port IP/RSIP Module to the

HUB or Data Switch and connect your Computer to the same data Switch as standard straight cable Network wiring.

8

2- Without using the HUB or data switch you can use the cross cable to connect your computer directly to the IP Module, see the next cross wiring diagram of TIA/EIA 568B crossed wiring

You can use the Line command Ping to check your connection. On your Computer, Go to start/ Run/ CMD then type Ping 192.168.10.xxx If you see the following results similar to this Picture then your connection is successful

Always the Programmer should carry with his programming kit the cross cable for programming without needs of the Data Switch or HUB.

2-2 S-bus Smart cloud Software basic setting

Configure

• 1- Connection You can change between Ethernet Connection and Serial Port connection,

the Serial Port connection is old, slow and no longer use. Always Keep the setting on Ethernet connection

Also you can choose between obtain Local IP Automatically (Default) ，or to input local IP Manually.

Input local IP manually you can use it for example, if you are using in your laptop or computer Wireless and wired Network with different IP setting, and you want to choose the right one of it for programming, and don’t want your S-bus software to detect your other IP address Automatically.

10

• 2- Software Subnet ID The S-bus configuration software have fixed Device ID (254), but you can change its subnet ID only, the default software subnet is (Default = 254)

The software default subnet ID address is 254, Device ID 254, this address must be unique, in case other Device has the same address you will not be able to find that Device unless you change the Subnet of the software. • 3- Subnet Filter List: Here you can filter your subnet ID's that mean you can add more ranges if you have more than 254 devicess so you can add another subnet ID • 4- Devices On-Line test You can Deactivate or activate the auto test of Online devices (Activate is Default). • 5- Load type You can add some Remarks to your Load type to use it as reference and print it out later on the excel sheet.

Address Here you can search for the Device Addresses and load the Network and solve any conflict in the address. (For more Information see 3-2) Pairing You can enable pairing or disable either for one device or for all devices, disable meaning you can't program S-bus modules in manual anymore until you enable it again. Devices You can go here directly to Devices setting Categorized by type Test This is important Function to check your Lights Circuit by flashing the lights ON/OFF and then you can give it name (for more information see 3-3 section). Language You can change the Language between English and Chinese, and other Languages Backup Important to backup and restore your Devices address and setting.

For Backup: put the subnet and device ID for desire device , choose the location for the backup file then click "Start backup" ,

For Restore: put the subnet and device ID for desire device, choose the backup which you already made then click "Restore".

11

2-3 Devices address and Search:

Each of S-bus Devices must have its own Address in the Network, the Address for each Device consist of 2 parts:

Subnet ID Device ID

The subnet ID can be from 0 – 254 And the Device ID can be from 1 – 254 So you can put up to 65024 Deferent Devices in the same network with deferent subnet and device ID Address For example one of Dimmer Module Address is (Subnet 1, Device ID 5)

There is 5 ways to Search for the Devices in the Smart cloud Software 1- Fast Search 2- Advanced Search 3- Manually Search 4- Broadcast Address Device Search 5- Solve Conflict address search

Fast Search The Fast search is very useful tools to test your communication and search your devices Fast , the Fast search take around 2-15 seconds to finish load the devices information in your network.

- Click on the Scan button - Click on the Fast search Button - Click add all - Click Exit to exit the Window

12

Fast search can’t load all the Network Devices, it is only load part of the devices, it is only good for small project that contain around 10 devices, and to check the network communication with your PC.

Advanced Search The Advanced Search is a powerful tool for searching your Devices in the network. You can set the Subnet ID you like to search on it and select the range of device ID you want to search for. Advanced search take 0.3 seconds for each device to load and total of 80 seconds to finish the search and load for 255 devices totally in each subnet.

- Click on the Online Search button - Go to advanced search , put the subnet ID and the range of device ID

search

- Click search ICON - Click ADD ALL after the search finish - Click Exit to exit from the window - click stop to stop the search - Click subnet to add new subnet to the popup Menu subnet list

Use the Advanced Search Always as your standard way to Load the Devices in the Network to your computer before you program in any new project.

Manual Search Manual Search is a very fast and useful way to add known Device ID and subnet to your network

- Type the subnet and device ID that you know - Click ADD - Exit the Menu

Broadcast Address Device Search This tool is important when you add new devices or you start your new Project installation, many devices could have the same Address or the communication is not yet tested, this tool is important to check the communication between your device and the bus network and to change its initial address in the first time installation.

- On your software Click Address then broadcast detection - Go to your device like Dimmer / Relay / sensor or Panel and keep

pressing the broadcast Address button for 2 ~ 4seconds until the button LED color change to RED.

- In your software in the Broadcast Detection window click the Detect Address Button.

- Your Device ID and Subnet well appear automatically - To change the address just type the new subnet ID or device ID you

want then click Save Address - Click ADD to online device list to load your device in the Devices

Network List. - Click Exit to Close the Window

14


Solve Conflict address search This type of search used to solve the conflict address, for example if 2 devices have the same address, then you can easily change the address of it without the need of disconnecting its wires from the network.

- Click Address or click the Address Shortcut icon

- Select Subnet 255 (recommended) or any desired subnet then click the search icon.

- Select the device you want to modify its address then click modify Address or double click on

it - New window will open, and then type the new Subnet ID and

Device ID, then Click Save

2-5 What is The Magic Line In our software ? : In programming in all S-bus Modules you will find the same line with same fields that’s why we called it "Magic Line " . If you want to send any command you have to use this magic line.

If you notice the Command Line is contained of :

Function No. : indicated to Order/Function Number , the maximum order you can put is depend of the module .

Subnet ID : each device has subnet ID in our software you can put up to 254 subnet ID.

Device ID : additional to the Subnet ID also each device must has uniqe ID to avoid the conflict . and the range is 254.

Each Subnet ID can cover 254 devices and we have 254 subnet ID that means the total Number is 64516 devices.

Type : What type of order you want to send, if you notice in the following pic the system has many types depend on the module

3- Relays and Dimmers Programming

Relays and Dimmers are the main modules for every lighting control system, the Leading Edge Dimmer, and smart relay save 30-70% of your lighting Energy consumption.

3-1 Relays and Dimmers type overview

S-bus Dimmers and Relay have many types that you can install in any project 1- Dimmers

- DIN-Rail Mount Dimmer 2ch 6A - DIN-Rail Mount Dimmer 4ch 3A - DIN-Rail Mount Dimmer 6ch 2A - DIN-Rail Mount Dimmer 8ch ~ 1.5A - DIN-Rail Mount Dimmer 12ch 1A

2- Relay ON/OFF controller - DIN-Rail Mount, Relay Module 3CH, 1A - DIN-Rail Mount, Relay Module 4CH, 20A - DIN-Rail Mount, Relay Module 4CH, 16A - DIN-Rail Mount, Relay Module 6CH, 16A - DIN-Rail Mount, Relay Module 8CH, 10A - DIN-Rail Mount, Relay Module 12CH, 10A

3-2 Setting Relay and Dimmers Address

When you install the Dimmer or relay first time, it takes default address as Subnet ID 1, Device ID 6. To change the address and check the communication you should use the Broadcast Address Device Search as you see in the section 2-5 before) Every Din rail Module have Broadcast button as you can see in this Picture

- On your software Click Address

20


- Go to your device like Dimmer or Relay then keep pressing

the broadcast Address button for 3-4 seconds until LED color change to RED.

- In your software in the Broadcast Detection window click the Detect Address Button.

- Your Device ID and Subnet well appear Automatically - To change the address just type the new subnet ID or device

ID you want, then click Save Address - Click Add to Online Devices list to load your device in the Devices

Network List. - Click Exit to Close the Window

3-3 Channels search and Remarks

After you finish editing the initial Address for each Dimmer and Relay, Search for all Modules in the network using the Advanced Search, after that you can start giving different Name in the remarks for each Module.

- Double click on the Module that you see on the List after searching to open it for editing

- In the Remarks field type the name of the Module - Click save after you type the name

21


Without giving name to the Dimmers or Relays in your Project, the program will be hard for any programmer to understand, troubleshoot, and enhance the program in the future; name and remarks always will help every programmer to do the programming

Always Give the Dimmers and Relay name that refer to its Location, for example if the Dimmer install in the floor 10 Apartment 20 then you can give it name for example DIM-10-20-A the next Dimmer in the same apartment can be DIM-10-20-B and so on and sticker Labeling can be stick on the dimmer Module itself with the same name

Testing Channels online: After we gave Address and name to the Dimmer, now we must test it channel and gave it name.

- In your software Menu go to Test

- set the Interval of seconds that will be flash the Light channel ON/OFF within this time (2 seconds is Default) after Editing it Click Save

- Edit the Subnet ID, Device ID of your Dimmer or Relay and Its Light Channel you want to test then click save

22


- Click start test button, than light icon will start Flashing ON/OFF - Go to the channel light in your project that connect to this channel and

see if the light is flashing or not. - If the light channel is flashing ON/OFF that mean your connection is

fine, then you can click stop test. - Give the name of this Light channel in the channel remarks field then

click save - Go for the next light channel test, click save and follow the same steps

for each module channels in your project.

Channel Remarks is very important for any programming, Programmer should edit all the remarks in simple and clear way to refer to the lights Channel name.

23


3-4 Relay Channels Setting Relay channel setting will allow you to edit the channel remarks in faster way if you have the List of your connected channels on your relay before testing it, also you can edit for each channel the load type remarks, Switch On Delay (Seconds), and Protection ON Delay (Minutes)

Double click on any relay Module on the List the relay setting window will appear go to the Channel tab, and start editing Channel Remarks: it is another fast way to type your channels of your module in simple way. Load type: to edit every channel load type as reference remarks Switching On Delay: for industry and some motors connection needs to delay the Relay to be ON from (0 to 25 seconds) for each channel Protection Delay: is used for industry use mainly and some heavy duty Machines for safety ON by long time delay range from (0 – 60 Minutes)

3-5 Dimmer Channel Setting

In the Dimmer channel setting you can edit your Dimmer Lighting channel Remarks, Load type remarks, Lower Limit, Higher Limit. Double click on any Dimmer Module on the List then the Dimmer setting window will appear go to the Channel tab, and start editing

24


Channel Remarks: it is another fast way to type your channels of your module in simple way. Load type: to edit every channel load type as reference remarks Lower Limit: in this setting you can sit the lower Limit that you can dim to, beyond this level the Light will turn off totally.

Lower Limit Option is useful when you connect a florescent Light that can’t be dimmable to Dimmer module channel and you don’t want it to be flickering when low voltage supply the florescent

if you don’t want the florescent light to be ON while you make diming with fade time for all your channels than you can set the channel Lower Limit as 90% if connected to florescent or not dimmable light Higher Limit: in this setting you can sit the Higher Limit that you can Ramp to, Beyond this level the Light will turn ON to the maximum level.

25


3-6 Area Setting

In the Area setting you will divide your dimmer or Relay channels to different Area according to your project installation, each Area will have its scenes and sequences. For example: if you have an apartment of 2 bed rooms, all its channels connected to the same dimmer, that mean you can divide the dimmer channels into 2 areas , type name for each area and later you can set the scenes and sequences of each Area separately.

- Double click on any Dimmer or relay on the List - Got to Area Tab - Click Area Setup - By default all channels is included in Area 1, Remove the channel that

not belong to this area by checking them and click the Left Arrow.

- Click Create Area to Add new Area - Insert the remaining channels on this Area by pressing the Right Arrow - When you create all you Area and assign Channels to it, Click Save

and Click Exit to close your Area Setting - Click Area Remarks and edit your Area names, then Click Save then

Exit.

26


3-7 Scene Setting After you complete your Area setting, then you can assign Different Scenes for Each Area you create

- Click on the scene tab - Select the Area on the select Area section - Input the scene number you want to edit From … To then click

confirm - Click scene setup to edit your scenes

- Edit the scene by modifying the output brightness and then click the

next scene on the right list to edit it. - Edit the scene running fade time on Minutes and seconds - After you finish editing your scenes, click save and exit. - Click Remarks to give the hint name for your scenes, click save and

exit

You have many tools to help you editing the scenes

- Modify Running time Synchronously to apply the change effect for all the scenes running time together

- Modify scene intensity Synchronously, to modify all channels output level together

- On-site Output scene, to see the effect Live on your room before saving the scene.

27


Creating Area and scenes in the Modules is recommended for

faster respond that control many channels in the same command.

Every area has Scene 0 and it is not modifiable, and always

Pre-Programmed as scene Off that set all the channels Lights of the area to 0%.

3-8 Scene Resume

This setting is very important for the dimmer in case of Power failure. The scene restore is the specified scene that the dimmer module will run it once the Power restore after the electricity down.

- Click scene tab then click on scene Resume - Select one of 2 options, - 1- Resume the same scene before power off, - 2- specify scene

- Remember Scene 0 it mean all Lights on the Area will be OFF when

the Power restores.

Restore to scene 0 is useful for many applications to save the Electrical parts when the power came in higher load from the main usually.

28


3-9 Sequence Setting

Sequence setting is used to make Lights show and some other needed application in industry, security and others.

- Click on the Sequence tap - Click on sequence Button to edit the sequence - Select the mode you want

Invalid: not used Random: well run the sequence scenes in random way Forward, and backward: will run the scenes from first scene to last one then from last to first Backward: will run the sequence scene from last to first Forward: will run the sequence scene from first to Last

Times: the sequence can be Unlimited forever running, or will run from 1 time to 99 times. Step totally: is the sequence scenes steps number that want to be include it in the Sequence

- After you finish editing your sequence setting, Click save and exit.

29


- Click Remarks to edit your Sequence name - Click Steps to edit your sequence steps - Edit your scene number in each step - Edit your step time interval on Minutes, seconds and part of seconds - Click Save and exit
